Somebody That I Used to Know

Now and then I think of when we were together 

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me 

But felt so lonely in your company 

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember



You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end

Always the end 

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends 

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over



But you didn't have to cut me off 

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger

And that feels so rough 



You didn't have to stoop so low 

Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though 

Now you're just somebody that I used to know



Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done 

And I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go 

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
